Kornheiser leaving Washington Post, but will keep TV, radio duties

Tony Kornheiser said on his radio show that he has accepted a buyout with the Washington Post.

Kornheiser will continue to do his two-hour radio show, which airs on XM radio, until he puts it on hiatus the second half of the year to focus on his “Monday Night Football” duties. He will continue in his role as co-host of ESPN’s “Pardon The Interruption.”

He has seven days to reconsider his decision, but Kornheiser told the Post, “I’ll have somebody kidnap me and tie me down so I don’t change my mind.”
